Zuma Valley, a Malibu, CA-based food brand dedicated to coconut products, received an equity investment from Erewhon.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
Led by Julie Labin, founder, and CEO, Zuma Valley is a female-owned food company focused on coconut products, which are naturally low-carb, keto-friendly, plant-based, paleo, and come with medium chain triglycerides. Its current product line includes refrigerated whipped coconut cream, frozen coconut cream, and frozen coconut meat, which are certified USDA organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten free, and kosher.
The company sells to retail, food service, and manufacturing customers across the United States.
Zuma Valley sources its coconuts from the Philippines, where they are grown on and purchased direct from small family farms, and then fresh frozen. Over half of the energy used during packing and freezing is from renewable sources, including biofuel and solar.
